Writing a blog is really quite special and something I definately should find more time for but having spent a super duper time with family over the summer holiday's, fitting in work and orders, and organising my time around a recent hospital trip with one of my daughter's, I've just not seemed to have time to do much at all and have worked around the clock in order to not let anyone down.

So, I've decided that with Christmas fast approaching, now's the time to start having some real fun and for anyone reading this blog post they will find that the first announcement I'm making to be a super duper one as leading up to 25th December I'm going to run one giveaway at the end of October ( so the first one's almost upon us ), one at the end of November and then a special one for Christmas Eve. Are you excited?The first prize, and giveaway announcement to be made on Button Fayre's Facebook page on Sunday 26th October, is for one of these gorgeous Christmas ' Button Fayre Street ' houses. These are actually quite large but can still be hung on a tree or sat on mantlepieces, etc. This is quite a big ' head's up ' for Button Fayre followers and so I hope you keep an eye out for all the festive going's on's, I adore this time of the year and the whole build up to it.

Here's an example of a ' Button Fayre Street ' house.

There are so many gift ideas at Button Fayre and many more to come too including brooches, pencil cases, make-up bags and bookmarks, all such wonderfully unique, handmade designs.I'm hoping to make enough stock in the next few weeks to hold a Christmas market night on Facebook towards the end of November but in the meantime here are some ideas....beautiful cushion designs, Kindlecases, stockings, tree decorations, textile art work and festive gift bags.
